I am among many who are grateful to the North-Eastern Hill Univserity for the opportunity it gave me to
pursue the master's and research degrees, for fostering teaching skills and place me in teaching, research
reasearch supervision and administrative positions covering 34 delightful years. I often look back at these
years and believe these were good times for NEHU. With direction, support and good will the University
should look forward to even better times. The Alumni have a role to make this possible.

I wish the NEHU Alumni Association much success as you bind and foster links between the Alumni and the
University. Ever remember our University motto "Rise Up and Build".

A brief sharing on the occasion
• Glad that the alumni is being organised
• Past pupils should form a vibrant & participating stakeholder of the university
• An alive alumni can play a very crucial role in the development of the university - identify weaknesses, suggest future direction, encourage & counsel present students, etc.
• Spare some time for your Alma Mater
All the best!

I Fondly remember my days at NEHU at The Bijini Complex. It's been over 25 years since I passed out of NEHU but my memories
of the days at NEHU are still very strong. Not only did I earn my degree at NEHU but I also learnt a lot of
life's valueable lessons here and made good friends that I keep in touch with. I miss not being there for
the Alumni meet - Greetings to all the NEHU alumnis. Hope I meet you next time. Rise Up and Build

Dear NEHU Alumni, I am delighted that Professor Don Syiem of our Biochemistry Department and others are leading
the way to strengthen our NEHU Alumni Association.

Wishing you all the very best for a successful meeting on September 19, 2014, and beyond.

The Association should promote fellowship among the graduates/scholars of NEHU across the globe, to act as an educational society, to establish open channels of communication among all, and to act as a fraternal/charitable organization.

I take immense pride in being a woman, a woman of strength and compassion. I owe it to my upbringing in a matriarchal social set up of Meghalaya and Northeast India. I am very delighted to participate in NEHU Alumni.

North Eastern Hill University provided me a stimulating environment to pursue my PhD dissertation. It has good lab facilities and is one of the best places to learn and meet people from various parts of the country. Will cherish the time I spent there.

Best wishes!

Our days in NEHU taught us not to be victims of our circumstances
but products of our own decisions.

By far, the best years of my life was in NEHU. Enjoyed the learning and the interactions with the highly accomplished professors.

Volumes have been written about what they teach you at the IITs and the IIMs of the world...
For me however, the North-East Hill University (NEHU) is the epitome of knowledge, wisdom and
lessons for life. It is in no measure less than an IIT or an IIM. Here I share, 10 things I learnt at NEHU:

Success comes only with hard work.

If you've got to learn something, you better be passionate about it.

Learning is not about taking notes and memorizing. It's about interactivity in the class and applying your thoughts.

Challenge convention.

Think global.

If you've got the fire in your belly, the sky is the limit.

Hard work and sincerity really pay off.

They aren't your teachers, they are mentors for life.

They aren't your classmates, they are friends for life.

Finally, it aint about studies only, it's also about picnics, parties and a whole lot of fun!

1974 department of Zoology (first batch), passed in 1976 with a gold medal and NEHU merit award.
Soon after i was awarded CSIR fellowship and joined Ph.D under the guidance of Prof.M.K.Khare.
I was awarded Ph.D degree in 1981.
All the best for the Alumni Meet and With regards

I fondly remember my student life in NEHU during 1986-88 in the Department of Zoology. The strong foundation and the values inculcated by my great teachers during that period has been my driving force till today. My best wishes for the alumni function.

Presently, I am working as Professor and Head of Department of Biochemistry, at BP Koirala, Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal, a joint collaborative project between Govt. of Nepal and India. It's an autonomous, deemed Health Sciences University,

It Nurtured, Educated, Humanized & Universalized. During one decade of my life from 1986 to 1996. It's NEHU, And at molecular level I am proud to be NEHUite

My best wishes are with all alumni friends, teachers, students and staff in NEHU. Let us contribute meaningfully through education for a peaceful, prosperous, environmentally secured and sustainable world.

Dear Friends, It was really exciting to hear of the Alumni Reunion; unfortunately, I cannot be at NEHU today, however, I will be thinking of you all.

For those who may be interested, my research is on respiratory virus pathogenesis, especially that associated with asthma attacks.
I would love to hear from other NEHU Biochem alumni, and if you are into viruses and asthma - what more could I ask for ?!

I am sure today will be a fun evening with lots of good food and laughter as friends re-connect.

Congratulations Don! On great organisation and an excellent evening!

Wishing this historic NEHU Alumni meet great success. We hope it is the start of a great tradition and that we are able to make it to Shillong for one such event in the future.

NEHU has provided me the foundation and knowledge to pursue my career in Canada confidently and successfully. I moved to Canada in 1996 and started my career from the bottom by working as a lab technician for a small company. Today, I head a department as a Technical manager at L.V. Lomas Ltd, overseeing R&D, product development & Technical support. L. V. Lomas Ltd. has won many Awards and is recognized as one of the Best Work Place in Canada. I cherish the time I spent at NEHU and hope to be in touch with more friends through NEHU Alumini.
